Karthik Kambatla commented on YARN-1410:
----------------------------------------

Like the idea of calling createApplication() from within submitApplication() if 
the appId is not set in ASC. There should also be a version of 
ASC.newInstance() that doesn't require an applicationId and can be used by the 
clients.

Another bizarre alternative would be to prematurely write the appId to the 
state-store on createApplication() even before an application is submitted. So, 
there could be appIds in the store that don't correspond to any applications - 
which is kind of weird and can lead to the store bloating up and other 
undesirable side-effects.

> App submission involves
> 1) creating appId
> 2) using that appId to submit an ApplicationSubmissionContext to the user.
> The client may have obtained an appId from an RM, the RM may have failed 
> over, and the client may submit the app to the new RM.
> Since the new RM has a different notion of cluster timestamp (used to create 
> app id) the new RM may reject the app submission resulting in unexpected 
> failure on the client side.
> The same may happen for other 2 step client API operations.
